After a six-year hiatus, VH1's Hip Hop Honors returned to celebrate the game changers of the hip hop industry.

But this year's event, aptly dubbed All Hail The Queens, was all about that girl power!

Broadcast live for the first time in its history, Monday night's ceremony paid homage to the female trailblazers who burst into the patriarchal genre to make their voices heard — and were honored with AH-Mazing tribute performances!

Hosted by Eve, the evening began with an inspiring statement from Black Lives Matter founders Darnell Moore and Alicia Garza — and also included a taped appearance by First Lady Michelle Obama honoring the women of hip hop!

It's been a decade since the pop singer dominated the radio with hits like Promiscuous and Maneater — but just like the bird that she is, Nelly could be flying back onto the radar any minute!

On Monday, the 37-year-old surprised fans by releasing a stripped-down acoustic cover of Calvin Harris's Feel So Close!

In a post on Facebook, the singer explained that the popularity of her live version of Calvin's hit, which she performed at a radio station back in 2012, made her want to record an official studio version!

We really hope this means a Furtado comeback is underway. The singer has been working on her album since late 2014 — and with fellow ‘00s radio divas Gwen Stefani and Fergie gearing up for comebacks, the timing for Nelly couldn't be better!

What do U think of Nelly's cover? Ch-ch-check out her live cover (below) and take a listen to the official version HERE!

Zayn previewed the duet by posting a black and white pic of himself with Swifty on his Instagram -- but hey, she is bestiez with his girlfriend Gigi Hadid, so it wouldn't be unusual that they hang out... But collab?!
